Love in the Desert Episode 7 Recap
> Love in the Desert Recap
Ye Pei reminded Huang Beishuang that it was time for her bath. Seeing her hesitation, she asked if she didn’t want to go. Huang Beishuang knew that not going would be considered a capital offense, so she reluctantly freshened up and headed to Na Zhan's bedchamber. Zhenqu Youjia eagerly tried to please Na Zhan, while Huang Beishuang feigned illness, managing to avoid the situation she didn’t want to be a part of.
Zhenqu Youjia served Na Zhan, and the two became intimate on the bed, but Na Zhan’s attention still lingered on Huang Beishuang, who was casually flipping through the *Desert Scroll*. Na Zhan noticed this. Na Zhan stopped what he was doing and got out of bed to quiz Huang Beishuang on the contents of the book. Huang Beishuang was able to answer all of his questions clearly, and Na Zhan realized that she had an extraordinary memory.
Huang Beishuang, keeping her head down, humbly praised Na Zhan’s superior knowledge, saying that otherwise, he wouldn’t know the book's contents so well. Na Zhan became intrigued by her and remarked that she had managed to escape from Ruo Wen's territory. Huang Beishuang replied that at worst, the war with Ruo Wen would mean death, but she couldn’t let Enna Qi lose hope, and she couldn’t risk offending Na Zhan.
Na Zhan believed that she would eventually open her heart to him and said he would wait for the surprise she would bring him. Taking the opportunity, Huang Beishuang asked to leave the bedchamber, and Na Zhan agreed. Huo Qingyun drank heavily and lashed out at Sha Qu, demanding that they complete the map by tonight. Ge Xinwei followed Ruo Wen to Tong Bahe’s territory.
Ruo Wen’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he completely ignored Ge Xinwei, even throwing the roasted duck she had kindly prepared for him onto the ground. After plundering, Tong Bahe returned to his territory only to find Ruo Wen there, and in fear, he tried to flee. Tong Bahe, wanting to live, begged Ruo Wen for mercy. Ruo Wen captured Tong Bahe’s subordinates and deliberately said he would spare only ten of them.
Tong Bahe, smiling, agreed, but when counting, there was one too many. Right in front of everyone, he killed his own brother, thinking it would save his own life. Ruo Wen spoke to Tong Bahe’s brothers, urging them to see Tong Bahe’s true nature. When Tong Bahe tried to resist, Ruo Wen swiftly killed him with one strike. Terrified, Tong Bahe’s men knelt and begged for mercy, pledging their loyalty to Ruo Wen as their new leader.
Ruo Wen accepted their submission and happily hosted a feast for everyone, offering them wine and meat. Ge Xinwei got drunk and confessed that she wasn’t afraid of Ruo Wen, but she didn’t like the way things were done. Ruo Wen asked her if she was willing to live as a desert bandit for the rest of her life, and for a moment, he hesitated.
Ge Xinwei, drunk, collapsed into Ruo Wen’s arms, saying it was her first time experiencing something like this. The next morning, Ruo Wen ordered his men to gather information about Masui City and prepared to head to Yunpei with his brothers. As he gazed at the sleeping Ge Xinwei, he left her the jewels that Man Hu had stolen. When Ge Xinwei woke up, she found that everyone had left.
Zhenqu Youjia was pleased after gaining Na Zhan’s favor, and Na Zhan rewarded her with gold, silver, and jewels. She intentionally sent gifts to Master Zhu as thanks. News quickly spread that Huang Beishuang had not been favored by Na Zhan, which worried Ye Pei. Huang Beishuang reminded Ye Pei and Lian Huan to be cautious with their words and actions in the mansion. Na Zhan personally visited Yunfang Pavilion, bringing a gift for Huang Beishuang.
To her surprise, it was two volumes of the *Desert Scroll*. Na Zhan deliberately tested Huang Beishuang, asking her to interpret the contents of the scrolls. Her answers satisfied Na Zhan, and he left the scrolls with her. Huang Beishuang realized that Na Zhan was ambitious and intended to use him to avenge her parents. Sha Qu brought Huo Qingyun good news, saying that Huang Beishuang had returned to the mansion late last night without receiving Na Zhan’s favor.
Huo Qingyun was pleased to hear this. Huang Beishuang leafed through the *Desert Scroll*, recalling her mother’s words that only by gathering all five volumes of the scroll could they resolve the crisis facing their people. The herbal section she had obtained was crucial, as it contained a hidden message. Huo Qingyun quietly entered the inner courtyard and saw Huang Beishuang asleep in a chair. He gently covered her with a thin blanket.
When Huang Beishuang awoke and asked about it, Ye Pei suggested that it might have been Na Zhan who left the blanket. Na Zhan, eager to use Huang Beishuang’s photographic memory to unify the desert, ordered Master Zhu to arrange a grand celebration for the upcoming Moon Festival, inviting the people to join in the festivities.
